Recently, Bitcoin broke above the narrow range we showed in previous articles. Subsequently, it gained bullish momentum, rising to $21 456. Interestingly, the cryptocurrency paused its climb slightly below the resistance at $21 473. If Bitcoin breaks above this level, it will further bolster the bullish case in the short term. However, the inability to break above the resistance might suggest a faltering bullish momentum. Therefore, we will pay close attention to volume levels. To support a bullish case, we want to see a pick-up in volume accompanying a (further) price increase. Contrarily, to support a bearish case, we want to see low volume near high price tags (and then, ideally, a pick-up in volume accompanying a price drop).

Overall, the price of Bitcoin is rising too quickly (and too high), which is more reminiscent of the FOMO (fear of missing out) behavior among market participants rather than a genuine primary trend reversal. Due to that, we are very cautious about this recent move and think it is still too premature to call the market bottom. We expect the U.S. earnings season to reveal more underlying economic problems and enforce the notion of the market progressing deeper into recession. As the cryptocurrency market stays highly correlated to the stock market, we expect this to weigh on it down the road. Accordingly, we maintain our price targets for Bitcoin at $15 000 and $13 000 (though, in the short-term, we do not rule out continuation higher).
